China's best attractions that you will not want to miss!!!

Shi Huangdi

Help, Help!!! This is one of the 417 scholars that were buried alive by this evil beast. Thankfully he died about 2000 years ago so you don’t need to worry about him. Shi Huangdi was the ruler of the Western states. That wasn’t enough for him so he battled and battled until he finally had his empire. He then formed China. Since he was the first emperor of China he changed his name to Qin Shi Huangdi. Which means first emperor of China. The Qin empire lasted from 22i B.C. to 206 B.C. One of his biggest achievements was the Great Wall of China. He wanted this wall to protect his empire from any invaders. In his short reign he standardized weights and money and even the language. He ended up killing 500k building The Great Wall of China and 700k building his tomb. He wanted everlasting life so he ate this pill that ended up killing him. He wanted to build these Terracotta warriors to protect his tomb and guide him to a everlasting afterlife. Anyone who worked on his tomb was killed so no one would know where he was buried. He was a very powerful but very evil man that will always be remembered for uniting China. Don’t make him mad because he is very mean and has buried about a million people alive. Visit one of the many great sites that he built, which are the Great Wall of China and the Terracotta Warriors just to name a few.
